$2,999 and is it a big piece of glass!

Was about to click the magic button ==> "Resolution in non-central portions of the frame show an increase as you stop down from f/4 to f/8"

As you know I just got the 16-35 f4, but after actually seeing this 11-24 I think I am going to have to get one, of course I'll await the reviews, and the 16-35 is an outstandingly good lens, but 11mm just opens up a range of perspectives the 16 nor 17TS-E can get to, throw in the usual weatherproofing and AF of the L's and even if you have to stop it down for maximum sharpness it still looks like a killer lens.

Think of the dynamic stuff 11mm will get you with the L series AF, it will become the new must have lens for skateboard shooting, snowboarding, anything that grinds rails, goalmouth, etc. Heck I'd like to put one on the EOS M and stick it as a remote above the wedding couple! So many possibilities of shots never captured before.

I think my Profoto B1 money is going on the 11-24!

and no shortage of people complaining that it's not a f/2.8.

Imagine the size/weight and cost of this thing at 2.8.

Cool, but $3000 is a ton of money. I have an 8-15 fisheye, and a Sigma 12-24. I think I'm good for now.

I have the Sigma 12-24 II and am pleased with it. I'm good for now as well, but I have no doubt this 11-24 is going to be pretty amazing.

I didn't hesitate for a second - it's pre-ordered. Here's what the Japanese site has about the lens and from the YouTube video, it's looks like flare is handled quite well for a lens this wide:

No problem and I can't wait for this one. It will make a broom closet look like a ballroom with that kind of perspective

 

[Jack Douglas]

Clueless here, so does this accept a rear ND filter? What are the implications?

[Viggo]

Oh my! That YT video made me want one... I probably shouldn't have watched that :

 

[Omni Images]

A M A Z I N G lens ... it's on the list for sure WOW !

 

[DominoDude]

That is a sexy piece of glass that Canon has made there. I'm pretty sure it won't cure anyone's GAS...

 

[Rahul]

Awesome! I don't have an option to preorder here in India but I will get in touch with the dealer in New Delhi and get this as soon as it touches Indian shores

 

[KitsVancouver]

Booo...they just took the video down. Right in the middle of my viewing!

Damned YouTube video... pouring GAS on a fire!

 

[sulla]

WOW, this is a kind of a front lens. Not sure I'd want to handle such a delicate piece of glass...

 

[candyman]

I must say, that YT video does make you want this lens... :-\
Way over my budget..I am still in the race for 300+ prime..

 

[sulla]

well, 3000 is 300+ ...

 

[candyman]

well, 3000 is 300+ ...

;D
That is 300mm plus prime
